Re: XML Toolkit and CDATA elements

The brackets look exactly the same visually, but I believe they are completely different values from EBCDIC to ASCII or UTF-8. I haven't used the XML Toolkit in awhile but being that it is based on Apache Xerces I would guess they are probably either defaulting the parser encoding to UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 (i.e. CCSID 819) and that would obviously then cause an issue during hex conversion with the different translation tables on the AS400. What you could do is concat the hex values for the bracket character to the string and go about it that way. This URL should give you enough translations of the bracket character to kill a cat: http://www.tachyonsoft.com/uc0000.htm#U005B

Hi,

Parsing from an IFS file with QxmlXercesDOMParser_parse_SystemId works
fine BTW...

I don't have any issues that way with neither the encoding, nor the
CDATA element ?

Kind regards,
Paul

PS. Looking at the square brackets in the file, they look exactly the
same as in the source code.

Hi,

When removing the XML declaration I always get the
UTFDataFormatException.

Yes, it is concatenated in the program... below is the code snippet;

/COPY QXMLDEV550/QRPGLESRC,QXML4PR550 DpBuffer S * DBufferID S 16 DpBufferID S * Inz(%Addr(BufferID)) DpMessage S * Inz(%Addr(Message)) DMessage S 65535 Varying DpParser S * DpDomExcDta S * Inz(%Addr(Qxml_DOMEXCDATA)) DpEnvData S * Inz(%Addr(Qxml_SaxExcData)) DLog S 512 Varying
/free Message = // '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ibm037" ?>' // '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>' // '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>' '<root><node>' + '<Object>' //+ '<![CDATA[This is <a> test.]]>' + 'This is a test.' + '</Object>' + '</node></root>'; QxmlInit(pDomExcDta); pParser = QxmlXercesDOMParser_new(pEnvData); %Str(pBufferID: 16) = 'TestID'; pBuffer = QxmlMemBufInputSource_new(pMessage + 2: %Len(Message): pBufferID: Qxml_JOBCCSID: 0: 0);

Kind regards,
